113. The concubine has a lover and the man has no intention
"Since we are friends, there's no harm in telling me what's on your mind. I won't reveal your secrets."
The young master no longer dared to make eye contact with Bai Qinghan. He avoided his eyes and hesitated: "I don't understand what you are talking about."
Bai Qinghan said irritably: "Why are you so evasive like a girl? You like Ruyi, do you think I can't tell?"
The young master was shocked: "You... actually..."
"Nonsense! Do you think that these thousand years of my life have been in vain! After all, we have been practicing for so many years..."
The young master thought to himself, I know you practice cultivation, but I really don’t know that you understand Fengyue.
Bai Qinghan squinted and said: "It's not that my ability to detect is very strong, but that you hide it too little! The look in Ruyi's eyes, the expression in his words...it makes me feel numb every time!"
"Ruyi is fourteen this year, so maybe she still doesn't understand this. I think I'll tell her in two years. By then our relationship will be deeper and it will be easier to talk about it," the young master said.
Bai Qinghan patted the young master and said, "It's okay to wait for two years. Anyway, time flies so fast, it's just a blink of an eye. I just pity those peach blossoms of yours!"
The young master's face turned red and he said, "Don't mention it again!"
Ruyi pushed the door open and came in. Seeing the two people looking panicked, she asked, "What are you talking about?"
"Nothing!" they both said in unison.
They were really weird today...did they eat something bad? Ruyi thought to himself.
The threshold of the Chu Mansion was almost trampled to pieces. The young master had no good impression of these enthusiastic matchmakers at all. He always avoided seeing them.
But Mrs. Chu and Master Chu felt that it was almost time to have a daughter-in-law. Ruyi was also very concerned about this matter, and often got together with the two of them to screen portraits.
Ruyi's eye is not that sharp. She thinks this lady is pretty, that lady is not too ugly, this lady has a dignified posture, but that lady is good at matching clothes.
It would be harder for her to choose someone than to go to heaven.
She kept choosing, but she had no idea at all.
In the end, Mrs. Chu burst into tears. Mrs. Chu held Ruyi's hand and cried: "My Ruyi! What if you choose your adoptive mother like this! Your adopted brother can't marry several people at once! Wow!
…”
Ruyi consoled her: "Don't cry, stepmother, or let the stepbrother make his own choice. Finding a wife...I'm not really good at it."
The young master was very worried about blind dates. Every time Mrs. Chu mentioned it to him, he would prevaricate her in various ways. Mrs. Chu even wiped her tears several times because of this.
One day, the young master and Mr. Chu just came back from outside, and before the stools were warm, Mr. Yin Zhu, the governor of Jimo City, came to visit in person.
Mr. Chu hurriedly went up to greet you, saluted and asked: "Bless you, Sir! What kind of wind brings you here! Please take your seat soon!"
Master Zhu was wearing a red official robe and looked a bit rich. He moved his body to sit on the Eight Immortals Chair and said with a smile: "I just came to see you. We haven't seen each other for a while, and I really miss you."
"I've met Lord Zhu." The young master bowed to the Lord.
Mr. Zhu looked at the young master and saw that the young master's posture was neither humble nor arrogant, his body was majestic, his appearance was dignified, his eyes were charming but not demonic, and his eyebrows were as dark as ink. His face was like the moon of the Mid-Autumn Festival, his color was like the flowers of spring dawn, and he was charming and charming.
Mr. Zhu became more and more happy as he watched, praising: "My nephew is really a talented person!"
The young master said humbly: "Your Excellency, you are so complimentary."
